Coordinator - Client Development - Litigation
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the Privacy Notice, EEO statement, etc. Also remove "Simpson Thacher will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered a requirement? It's a condition; maybe keep? It's not a standard heading; could be part of Qualifications? Might be considered a requirement. But it's about visa sponsorship. Could be included in a short paragraph under Qualifications or Requirements. However it's not explicitly listed as a requirement; it's a statement. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a specific policy. I'd keep it as a note under Qualifications maybe.
Also remove "Privacy Notice For information about how Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP collects and processes your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Notice available at https://www.stblaw.com/other/privacy-notice." That's boilerplate legal; remove.
Also remove EEO statement: "Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is committed to a collegial work environment..." That's boilerplate; remove.
Now we need to extract substantive content.
Let's parse the posting:
First paragraph: "Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is one of the world’s leading international law firms. The Firm was established in 1884 and has approximately 2,000 lawyers. Headquartered in New York, with offices across the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America, the Firm provides coordinated legal advice and transactional capability to clients around the globe. The Client Development & Engagement (CDE) function is central to the Firm’s growth strategy, bringing together business development, marketing, events and communications. Working closely with Partners, practice leaders and cross-functional teams, CDE supports high-impact initiatives including pitches and RFPs, strategic marketing and communications, and practice-level business initiatives. The team leverages data, insights and creative problem solving to help Partners drive sustained growth through repeatable excellence and differentiated client experience. The Client Development & Engagement (CDE) Coordinator is responsible for working closely with the CDE Litigation team in support of the Firm’s Litigation, Investigations, and Regulatory practices. An integral member of the CDE Litigation team, the successful candidate, will help support practice initiatives, cross-practice collaboration, with a particular emphasis on the Firm’s litigation clients and practices."
That's about the role/firm.
Then "Responsibilities" heading and a long list of duties separated by periods. We need to turn each duty into
- . The list includes many items separated by periods. We'll split at each sentence that starts with a verb. Let's extract:
- Collaborate with Litigation CDE team, broader CDE team, Litigation partners, and select professional staff across the Firm in implementing CDE team strategies and requests.
- Distribute Firm memoranda; maintain and communicate professional and community services and related client alerts
- Maintain website content, Partner biographies and other Client Development and communications materials across multiple channels
- Organize event tracking and follow-up for the Litigation Department
- Assist with the preparation of directory submissions and survey responses for various legal and business directories and publications
- Support the Client Development team with development and maintenance of promotional marketing materials in support of the Firms client development initiatives
- Prepare and maintain promotional materials, such as brochures, practice area descriptions, rankings and quotes, varied advertising, posters, flyers and other promotional materials
- Assist with distribution of varied marketing materials and Firm communications, such as event invitations, ranking submissions, presentation notifications, press releases, summaries and web-related content
- Manage data for the Firm’s CRM system
- Provide competitive intelligence reports and analysis; conduct additional research through database searches, industry resources, and networking as directed
- Support practice-specific daily docket-tracking efforts
- Assist with Firm-sponsored events and presentations
- Collaborate with team on draft pitches, proposal materials and presentations when required
- Work with stakeholders in other departments and in other offices as needed
- Support Client Development projects and other Firm initiatives as needed
- Perform additional duties as needed
Now "Required Skills & Experience" bullet list:
- 2-4 years of relevant business experience
- Must be able to work independently and collaboratively in a highly competitive and demanding environment
- Strong attention to detail and self-motivated to produce accurate, timely and complete work product
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and excellent research and analytical skills
- Strong project management skills, initiative and the ability to manage multiple projects concurrently
- Ability to begin to leverage institutional knowledge in own work
- Demonstrated introductory knowledge of full range of Business Development skill set
- Proficiency in MS Office programs such as Outlook, Word, and Excel
- Must be flexible and willing to work overtime as needed
Then "Preferred" bullet list:
- Previous experience in a law firm, marketing or professional services field preferred
- Some familiarity with experience databases is preferred
- Familiarity with litigation tracking tools (e.g., Bloomberg Law, Westlaw, CourtLink, LexisNexis, Courthouse News, or similar) is preferred
- Experience updating/maintaining website content preferred
- Demonstrated experience using a Client Relationship Management (CRM) system preferred
Then "Qualifications":
- Required Bachelor’s degree
- Preferred Major in Advertising, Marketing, Communications, Public relations, Pre-law, or related field preferred
Then "Salary Information NY Only: The estimated base salary range for this position is $75,000 to $90,000 at the time of posting. The actual salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including without limitation, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and if applicable, the location in which the applicant lives and/or from which they will be performing the job. This role is non-exempt meaning it is overtime pay eligible."
We need to include Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes, salary range given. So we create a Pay section with that info. Also note non-exempt overtime pay eligible.
We should not include Benefits or Schedule sections as not present.
Now we need to decide which headings to use for skills vs requirements vs qualifications. The posting has "Required Skills & Experience" and "Preferred" and "Qualifications". We could map:
- Skills: Required Skills & Experience (maybe also include Preferred as part of Skills? but Preferred could be under Qualifications? Actually Preferred is more like preferred qualifications/experience. Could be under Qualifications as preferred qualifications. But we already have a Qualifications heading for education. Might be better to have separate sections: Requirements (required skills/experience), Qualifications (education and preferred majors), Skills (maybe we could combine required skills and preferred skills under Skills). However instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We need to decide which to include based on content.
We have content for:
- About the role: yes.
- Responsibilities: yes.
- Requirements: we have required skills & experience (2-4 years, etc.) Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: we have education (Bachelor's degree) and preferred major.
- Skills: we could also have a Skills section for proficiency in MS Office, etc. But those are already in required skills & experience. Might be redundant. Better to map Required Skills & Experience to Requirements, and Qualifications to education/preferred major. Then we could also have a Skills section for the preferred experience items? But those are also qualifications. Might be okay to have only Requirements and Qualifications, and maybe Skills not needed. However we need to avoid thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. We could combine Required Skills & Experience and Preferred into a Skills section, and keep Qualifications for education. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining required skills & experience and preferred), Qualifications (education), Pay. That's four sections.
But we need to ensure we don't lose any content. If we combine required and preferred into Requirements, we need to include both required and preferred bullet points. That's fine.
Alternatively, we could have Requirements (required skills & experience), Qualifications (education and preferred major), Skills (proficiency in MS Office, etc.) but that would be many sections.
Let's go with: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes required skills & experience and preferred), Qualifications (education), Pay.
Now we need to format.
About the role: prose paragraph(s). We'll combine the firm description and role description into a few paragraphs.
Responsibilities:
- each duty.
Requirements:
- each bullet (required and preferred). We'll need to include both sets.
Qualifications:
- for education and preferred major.
Pay:
with salary range and note about non-exempt.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like Privacy Notice, EEO, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
About the role: maybe two paragraphs: first about firm, second about CDE function and role.
Paragraph 1: "Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is one of the world’s leading international law firms. Established in 1884, the firm has approximately 2,000 lawyers and is headquartered in New York with offices across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It provides coordinated legal advice and transactional capability to clients around the globe."
Paragraph 2: "The Client Development & Engagement (CDE) function is central to the firm’s growth strategy, bringing together business development, marketing, events, and communications. Working closely with partners, practice leaders, and cross‑functional teams, CDE supports high‑impact initiatives such as pitches and RFPs, strategic marketing and communications, and practice‑level business initiatives. The team leverages data, insights, and creative problem solving to help partners drive sustained growth through repeatable excellence and differentiated client experience. The Client Development & Engagement (CDE) Coordinator works closely with the CDE Litigation team in support of the firm’s Litigation, Investigations, and Regulatory practices. As an integral member of the CDE Litigation team, the successful candidate will help support practice initiatives and cross‑practice collaboration, with a particular emphasis on the firm’s litigation clients and practices."
Now Responsibilities list: we need to ensure we keep the exact wording (preserve all substantive information). We'll copy each bullet as is, maybe slight punctuation.
Let's list them exactly as extracted:
